My favourite season of American Horror Story, and just so much fun.
It’s much more occult and Satan-oriented than I’m used to most witch-centric stories being, but that makes it all the more unique. The witches from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (TV).Ī dark and magical show with great atmosphere, unusual characters, interesting storylines – and lots and lots of witches.The day when my Turkish will be Maşallah! (Magnificent!) and not just güzel(pretty, good) … The day I will talk like a Turk.Having recently finished a short story all about witches and their witchy community, I thought I’d share 12 of my favourite fictional witches (or groups of witches) with you. The day when Anlamadım (I don’t understand) will disappear from my vocabulary. I’m dreaming about the day when I won’t need to ask people Tekrar eder misiniz, lütfen?(Can you, please, repeat?) or Bu ne demek? (What does this mean?).
But we will manage somehow, İnşallah! (if God willing! I hope so!) Adım Adım. Oh, we have such a complicated relationship. I still make mistakes when writing long complex phrases. I still need the dictionary, patience and… time. Sometimes we are so happy together! We are in seventh heaven! But our occasional quarrels bring us back down to earth with a bump… Even though I did learn the grammar rules on my own and I’ve been working on my Turkish vocabulary whenever I had spare time, I still have problems when reading literature. But that’s all, this is the point where the two languages sign the divorce papers in my mind. I even found a common sentence Cebimde çok küçük elma var.(Tr) -Zsebemben sok kicsi alma van.(Hu) (I have many little apples in my pocket.). I cannot deny that there are some similarities between Turkish and Hungarian grammar and both have sounds like ‘ü’ and ‘ö’. That means I should learn them easily, right? If only it would be so simple… Knowing Hungarian didn’t make my job (much more) easier. But so are Finnish, Estonian, Tatar and Mongolian. Yes, I’m aware that the other languages I’ve studied, Italian, Spanish and French, are Latin languages, therefore it’s not so difficult for a Romanian to understand them.Īnd both Hungarian and Turkish are Ural-Altaic languages. Actually is the most difficult language I’ve been learning. But it really is difficult( gerçekten!) for foreigners. (Turkish is one of the easiest languages of the world.) Of course, Turkish is easy… for Turks. There is nothing left to do but wave the white flag and surrender by finally saying the “magic” words: Türkçe çok zor! And what do I get instead? Hadi ya! (used to express disbelief) Gerçekten mi?(Really?) Türkçe dünyanın en kolay dillerinden birisidir.
Untill I “smash into” the first linguistic obstacle… and then my “struggle” is suddenly over. I succeed to silence my stubborn mind and to continue the conversation for a while. It’s not because I cannot continue, it’s more like an absurd need to inform my interlocutors about how difficult their language is. Whenever I get the chance to talk with somebody in Turkish after the usual Merhaba(Hello), Nasılsın? (How are you?) and Ne yapıyorsun? (What are you doing?) a painful need to say Türkçe çok zor! (Turkish is very difficult!) terrorizes my brain.
Since I’ve started my irregular Turkish language learning adventure I developed an extraordinary ability to complain.
